May 24 2006
"Nominet, the .uk domain name registry, is celebrating reaching the
five million mark for .uk domain name registrations. The landmark
registration, Hosepipebanbuster.co.uk, was registered by Watermatics
Ltd, an irrigation company based in Hertfordshire.
When founded in 1996, Nominet registered 2,000 .uk registrations in
its first month of operation. Now the world's fourth largest Internet
registry, it handles 144,000 registrations, equivalent to the
population of its hometown Oxford, every month. 57 per cent of domain
names registered are associated with a live website, which means that
there are almost 3 million active .uk websites online."
